The Rest, Only Noise: Chapter 90 The Secret of Glory 10/43

,

From 1 to 3 to 4 to 3, the 76ers reversed.

A team with constant internal contradictions, a head coach who is tyrannical and violent, players who are alienated, and a team that is about to collapse, united in a desperate situation.

Louie believes this is the perfect team.

Even if the lineup was not perfect, in the fourth quarter of Game 7, he saw the Celtics touch the secret of "winning".

"Larry Bird was the eye of the storm in Boston, and he burst out with all his energy from Game 5, and then let 1968 in The history that happened in the Eastern Conference finals, repeats itself!"

Sadly, Bird couldn't hear him.

Because Bird was surrounded by the audience in the center of the court, just like Havlicek who completed the steal of the century, he was stripped of his clothes and it was difficult to get out of the crowd.

As the driving force behind this big reversal, Louie didn't get much.

A crazy female fan jumped on top of him and gave him a lot of kisses. Fortunately, the other party was in full bloom. If he was an aunt in his 40s or 50s, he would have nightmares when he went back at night.

"We've got a lot of great players, and they've made it with their own hands," Bill Fitch told reporters. "You can't see a bigger game than tonight."

Ralph Sampson, who had 18 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 8 blocks, praised his leader excitedly: "Larry just won't let us lose!"

"That last-minute dunk was the greatest dunk I've ever seen, not to mention his rebounding, defense, magical passing."

Bird was blunt: "It was the best game I've ever played in my life."

What he didn't know was that he was only a sophomore, and the greatest game of his career certainly wasn't tonight.

"I have a group of proud and tenacious teammates, and a little bit of luck." Bird was still very modest at this time, not the forced king who would constantly remind his opponents where to make a lore in the future, "So we won."

The Celtics and 76ers' Game 7 set many records.

The most rebounds, most possessions, most blocks and steals in an Eastern Conference finals game since the 1970s—and, without a doubt, the greatest Eastern Conference finals in history.

Overcoming the difficult obstacles set by the Phillies, the Bostonians are left with the biggest dark horse of the year, the Houston Rockets led by Moses Malone.

Unlike the Eastern Conference finals, which were devastated, the Rockets and the Kings took only five games to decide the winner in the Western Conference finals.

This year's Western Conference finals set another record.

The confrontation between two inferior polo teams that have won 40 wins is a story that has never been seen before, and will rarely come after. Two Cinderella-like teams came to the highest stage in the West to decide on the finals tickets.

They have wonderful storytelling and ugly game performances.

The following attitude of waiting for horses, teamed up to get rid of the Suns, the first in the West, the Lakers in the second in the West, the Spurs in the third in the West, and the Trailblazers in the fourth in the West.

It is also rare for these two crouching dragons and phoenixes to appear in the small Midwest Division.

The Western Conference finals were dominated by Moses Malone, two very similar teams, and one superstar in hot form was enough to keep things off balance.

In the finals, Game 1, the game was completely dominated by Bird.

He shot one of the top ten shots of his career. He shot a high jumper. Maybe when the ball went out, he guessed that it would not go in. Moreover, he keenly predicted where the ball would land and rushed to the landing spot in advance. go. His shot really missed, and the insiders who were in the card position saw Bird teleport into the air, caught the offensive rebound and handed it over to his left hand to score.

Auerbach, who was on the scene, called it the greatest goal he had ever seen.

The term "greatest" has been a bit of a misuse these days.

But it was a rare hit indeed.

The Rockets were defeated, and some people began to question whether they really belonged in the Finals.

From the second game, the Rockets' strategy reflects a "game can be lost, Bird must die" attitude.

Bird treated their approach as a game, using the pass to fix the game.

The Celtics handily won Game 2.

With just two games shy of a return to glory, the Celtics showed a glimmer of distraction and premature smugness.

The defense isn't working so hard anymore, and the offense isn't quite sure.

game3, Bird was the only one who got into the game.

But the Rockets used a "box-one" strategy on him similar to the 2019 Raptors defense against Curry, successfully limiting Bird to 8 points in a single game.

Seeing Bird's 8 points in a single game, Louie couldn't help but want to laugh. He remembered James' 8 points in a single game in the finals when he was hacked for a lifetime.

Judging from the data, they are all 8 points, but James was criticized for being invisible in the finals. The 8 points was emphasized by the black fans in a repeater-like way in order to make people remember how badly he played at that time, in order to instill in people a concept that "8 points in a single game in the finals = super bad". In fact, with the same 8 points, Bird also had 13 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks. After he was simply defensively targeted, he didn't feel good.

What makes Louie laugh is that Bird didn't just score 8 points in a single game, he scored 8 points in a single game in two consecutive games. The Rockets' "box-one" was used in a good way, and the Celtics seemed to lose Bird's power. It didn't work out, lost two games in a row in Houston, brought the series back to the starting point, and even made the league's top ironman Moses Malone said to the local media in Houston: "Moses doesn't want to brag, but Moses is in Petersburg (hometown). Calling four amateurs can handle the green man."

The news came back to Boston, completely angering the Celtics team.

The battle of Tianwang Mountain was a massacre. Maxwell seized the opportunity of Houston to defend Bird with all his strength, and he had no time to take his opportunity to score 30 points.

The Celtics beat the Rockets by 22 points.

Maxwell squirts classic to Moses: "Go home and bring your amateurs, your teammates are useless!"

The sixth game of the series, UU reading www. uukanshu.com is also the last game. Under the tactical design of Louis, Bird finally adapted to the Rockets version of the "box-one" and dominated the game like the first game, with 30 points, 14 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 steals. Averaged 17 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks per game—this kind of defensive stats appearing on Bird is really unreal.

A five-year championship drought came to an end in 1981.

Larry Bird won his first championship trophy, and the butterfly effect brought by Louie allowed him to take away the mvp belonging to Dr. J. In the final, he also used comprehensive and gorgeous average data, Overwhelmed teammate Maxwell and was elected fmvp.

"Sports Illustrated" author John Papanett made a rainbow fart: "Larry Bird's height, game, intelligence, willpower and maturity have made him the most important person since Oscar Robertson. Complete player!"

On the night of winning the championship, Auerbach lit a cigar in the locker room, Louis was sprayed with champagne by many people, and infinite joy rippled on everyone's face.

Even Bill Fitch seems to understand what "Celtic Glory" is all about.
